The downfall of Ranucci. Incompatible with the editorial team at Report

First he lost his head, and now he’s losing the case. The Court of Rome has decided not to reinstate Sigfrido Ranucci to Report. The appeal has been dismissed, and the court has ruled in favour of Rai, which is not Al Sisi’s television station, but a company that has demonstrated the validity of its arguments, the ‘fairness’ and transparency of its decision. Ranucci loses his presenting role (and we reproduce here, in no particular order, excerpts from this ruling), because Rai linked his dismissal to “the media furore” and the “consequent impact on the working conditions necessary for the Report editorial team to carry out its delicate investigative work”. There is therefore no ‘Bulgarian edict’, and Ranucci is neither Falcone nor Borsellino, the heroes he used to defend himself. Ranucci is not Biagi, but a journalist whom his own editorial team rejected, even before a judge did: an acrobat who has fallen into Lavitola’s slippery trap.
